Liqui-Cel™
3M™ Liqui-Cel™ membrane contactors effectively manage dissolved gases in water and liquids. This hollow-fiber membrane technology features a wide choice of modules that can be custom-sized.
Liqui-Cel™ membrane contactors
For over 25 years, Alting has been distributing Liqui-Cel™ contactors manufactured in the USA by 3M™ in the French-speaking region. As privileged partners, Alting collaborates with 3M to market and provide technical support on the product.
For dissolved gas management
Membrane contactors are mainly used for degassing O2 and CO2, removing non-condensable gases, and debubbling. The operating principle is based on Henry’s Law, a physical law that relates the concentration of a gas in a liquid to its partial pressure. By separating the liquid phase from the gas phase using our hydrophobic membrane (hollow fibers), it is possible to modify the equilibrium governed by Henry’s law.
